Tips and Tricks for getting the best Emerald Isle vacation home experience:

Getting the most from your vacation rental budget:

• To get the best value, try changing your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warm temperatures, , and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Morehead City vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• In the Morehead City area, The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked early. Reserving your rental property six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Some owners offer special rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines have deals for local shops and restaurants.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Start by having your group select the best dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Emerald Isle Condo w\/ Direct Access to Ocean! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the host before you book the home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or charges might be applied to your agreement.

Advice for your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Note any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent lots of issues.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Protect your property!
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a excellent vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
